Need any of the following parts manuals for M101 105mm howitzer, in .pdf form: TM 9-1015-203-20P TM 9-1015-203-34P Anyone have a copy? Can't find it anywhere online.

Might have a need for a heavy trailer axle for a future project build, would like a trailer axle that uses 9.00x20 tires on the end. That pretty much limits it to the following trailers: M105 cargo, M332 ammo, M200 and M353 genset carrier. Each of these uses these size tires. However, due to...

Okay it's that time again, the yearly work weekend for the USS Torsk WWII submarine museum in Baltimore, MD is coming up, October 4-6 (Friday thru Sunday). We are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer a little of their time and effort into getting the boat restored and maintained as it...

Got into a conversation on another site about the value of old WWII Jeeps. Now, I know price varies all over the place, but this guy REALLY low-balled what I thought a vehicle would be worth. I understand original WWII jeeps are worth more than a repro. What, in your opinion, would be the...

Saw this while cruising around for ham radio information. Not everything he has is military in nature, but take a look at the pics, you have to see the amount of military radio gear he has saved up, and on display in his hamshack (more like a ham MUSEUM)! Very cool.... http://www.qrz.com/db/w9evt

Met with Jason yesterday, he was a great guy, picked up the M37 off of my friend Ralph, who had a stroke last year and won't be able to drive it anymore. The M37 was Ralph's baby, he had great plans for it, but in his improving (but still handicapped) state, it would be a long while before he...

It's almost July, we have to start planning the Fall 2013 Rausch Creek PA rally for those who want to come out and wheel their MVs over rocks and dirt again! The poll questions give three options for weekends. Mid-to-late October has always worked out well for us. Any later and it's too cold...

Looking to find more information out there on the web related to ham radios and military radios, specifically custom homebrew projects, old iron (boat anchors), restorations, maintenance, etc. Can anyone out there recommend a good forum on the internet that is similar in layout to this (any...

Have a bunch of manuals of them, looking through them and it seems like a neat radio. 225 MHz up into the Gig-range. Anyone here have experience using one, that can give a basic rundown of its capabilities, pros/cons, and how you like operating it?

I saw this on the CL near me, listed as a 1951 trailer. The pics are small and the owner hasn't responded to my emails yet. The trailer looks like a M104 but I've never seen one other than in a military manual (drawing), not sure exactly what it is. Anyone know?

I have a bunch of pics of CUCVs, every one I have seen the front turn signal lens appears to be clear, with maybe an amber bulb behind it. However, most turn signal lens on other vehicles are amber, with a standard white bulb. Are the turn signal lenses on the CUCV supposed to be yellow, and...

Does anyone have some historical insight into the models of cable reel trailers that have been used by the Army Corps of Engineers and other combat engineer-related units since WWII?

May have the opportunity to help out a small business with getting a vehicle(s) for hauling small loads locally. Most, if not all of their stuff gets moved on pallets, so loading/unloading would primarily be by forklift. The owner wants to move as much as possible, without getting a semi-truck...

Saw a couple 28-volt power supplies from the last time I went up to Colemans in PA. One is big, about 90 lbs, data on the tag is shown in the pics. The other is smaller, painted white, maybe 10 pounds. I don't have a pic of the data tag on the smaller unit. Anyone familiar with these power...

Dudley used to be on here all the time, but he's been busy with his new job (I don't blame him, it's his dream come true to build MVs for a living). Is anyone here doing group space buys for Aberdeen? Not sure if Dudley is still doing this or not. Just don't want to miss out, but want to be...

Making another trip to the Coleman's salvage yard. Will take pics of the trip, might even stop a couple other related places. Anyone need anything there (THAT YOU KNOW THEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE)??? I added the last part because I constantly get PMs from people asking "next time you're at...

I have seen M101 and M105 trailers restored with new 24087 semi gloss paint, done up as it was in the 1950s and 1960s. For these trailers in this era, I have seen them restored with the side rack wood unpainted, finished with stain and polyurethane, and painted 24087 along with the body of the...

Well I found a CL ad for a M101 trailer for $50 - and it looked it. But I felt sorry for the old veteran, and I decided to rescue it from a rusty fate. Well, more rusty than it already is. There are some good parts on this unit, at the very least some parts can get saved and used to complete...

Anyone have any recommendations for a good radial replacement size tire for the M101A1 series trailers, stock split-rim wheels, to give roughly the same ride height as the stock 9.00x16 NDTs? Have a M101 coming in with ancient NDT tires and I don't want to buy replacement NDTs, I'd rather get...

Has anyone here painted an MV with a paint roller (narrow one, like 3" wide) and had good results? If so, what type of paint did you use? Automotive or latex? Anyone got pics of their paint job this way?
